Seattle Councilmember Saka Proposes Budget Amendment to Enhance Pothole Repairs and Transparency

Seattle residents tired of dodging potholes may find relief in a new budget amendment proposed by Councilmember Rob Saka. Saka, who also chairs the Transportation Committee, has introduced a plan to improve the city’s approach to pothole repair. The plan will enhance how the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) tackles this bumpy issue. According to an article published by the

Seattle City Council’s website

, the amendment promises greater accountability and transparency for those reporting potholes in their neighborhoods.

“Potholes are a concern for every district in Seattle, which is why I’m making it my mission to become the ‘King of Pothole Repair,'” Saka declared. He emphasized the repair aspect and the need for efficient use of resources and providing clear, measurable results for Seattle’s citizens. The proposal underlines several key evaluation points for the city’s efforts in pothole repair, including identifying and prioritizing potholes, performance indicators, and a reporting mechanism on outcomes, as detailed by the

Councilmember Saka’s vision for a city better equipped to address such everyday concerns was shared by his colleague, Councilmember Maritza Rivera of District 4. Rivera commended the initiative, praising the use of data to measure the city’s success in repairing potholes. “I strongly support using data to determine if the city is meeting our goals. I am really glad to see that Councilmember Saka is putting forth these accountability measures when it comes to pothole repair,” she said, as quoted on the
